This is probably OT, but I'm not sure what group to post this too.

I have been getting crap emails at my home and work addresses regarding hot
stock tips.

I'll post the source information below. But, what steps can I take to report
the spam? I don't know what to do with the header information. Here's the
stuff:

DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2003--Hard to Treat Diseases =

performed autopsies. The mice were randomized and only the control mouse =
was known to the pathologist, as stated in the cover letter of the Patholo=
gy Report.

The report concludes, "All tissues evaluated, visceral organs and the brai=
n were essentially normal in appearance." "The importance of this report i=
s even better than I expected," stated the spokesperson for the medical gr=
oup. "As the testing continues and if the results are similar to those of =
Chemotherapy and or radiation with no harmful side effects, Tubercin has e=
normous potential for the treatment of cancer and the immune system."

The President and CEO of HTTD, Mr. Colm J. King is in the process of formi=
ng a Scientific Advisory Panel with leading Oncologists and Immunologists =
from prestigious institutions in the U.S. The panel will review the report=
s and results of Tubercin=AE's findings and will report back to Mr. King w=
ith the ongoing reports in layman language for the shareholders.

"We are continuing to receive promising results regarding Tubercin=AE and =
we're looking forward to additional positive results in the near future," =
stated Mr. King. "These tests prove that Tubercin=AE is non-toxic and is t=
he first step on the way to human clinical trials as well as the first pos=
itive breakthrough conducted in the United States with an independent medi=
cal group for Tubercin=AE.

....but someone here will probably help too.

In the future, as a matter of courtesy, it is best not to post others' e-mail
addresses to usenet. This is especially true now due to there being worms
going about town harvesting these addresses.

Have you tried SpamCop?

Thanks for the advice.
I did post to that newsgroup (sans email addresses) and this is the response
I got:
From Brazil.

If you can block 200.*, do so.

Not much else you can do, except forward the spam, with headers, to:
enforcement (at) sec (dot) gov

Note that you did not ask for this information, do not know these
people, and it appears to be another 'pump and dump' scam.

You will (probably) get an auto-ack.

Don't expect anything else.

But...
If you follow the financial news, maybe, just maybe, after a year
or two, you might just hear a news report about some stock scam
enforcemnet order from the SEC, and think: "That sounds kind of familiar..."

Good luck,

Gary G.

Once you consider how much of a header can be faked, and that scam
e-mail can be sent from trojanized machines, tracing to the source can
be problematic to say the least..the n.a.n-a.e group is exactly what the
doctor ordered. They can show you how to read headers, or tell you
when it is nearly or completely futile to do so.
